This is a great value for the money. You get a great quantity of food but my only complaint is that the meat is vegan. You get a vegan chicken, some bacon and quite a bit of taco seasoned meat. The chocolate milk is also milk substitute but for the cases and cases of product you get I can over look things like that. I was going to order whole egg powder from a competitor and it was back ordered for so long it held up my complete order, it seemed like that was their standard operating procedure back order back order back order. Any time I tried to order a one year supply of food it was ALWAYS weeks backordered. I cancelled my entire order with them and ordered with Sams Club instead. What a breath of fresh air! IN STOCK! In the 1 yr order of food I got an entire case of 6 whole egg #10 cans and there were more in another case! I loved the hand mill for the grain - in a emergency catalog I saw the same one on sale for $49.99 that's included too. I am absolutely going to order another 1yr from Augason Farms to have on hand and will tell my family to have it in their storage areas too.

I ordered this one year supply after much comparing of other brands and other sellers on the internet. It is the best value by far. You need to compare the different types of food and the weight of each, it is a really great value! Plus it comes with a wheat grinder, havent tried it yet but if nothing else, can be used as a spare if I get a better one in the future. I see the earlier comment about the weight content in the cans, I see no problem with the total product content/filling of the cans. Some cans are lighter than others, the can of wheat weighs 5lbs while other cans of the freeze dried fruit weigh only a couple. But the net weight advertised is correct, at least on my order. The amounts in these cans are the same as other brands that I have seen advertised on other websites. Plus the shipping was free! If you look at the price per can for 85 cans, you can't beat this deal.

The majority of the items have a 25-30 year shelf life. If I have to reorder the 10 year items I'll never have to order again. I've got peace of mind that should I ever need an emergency food supply it will be there. No longer do I need to stock up on grocery store items and worry about rotating the stock because of items reaching expiration. When you receive this shipment sort through it then store it in a cool dry place. Out of sight, out of mind until you need it. I had researched other foods and the Sam's Club special offer made this the absolute best value. I recommended it to others and two of our friends also ordered this package. Unlike other posters, none of the cans were bent or damaged. All of the items had been sealed within two weeks of shipment.

My low rating is not due to product quality or shipping because I have ordered before with satisfaction, but because the claim this will last one adult an entire year is unfounded. Any online calorie requirement calculator will show that average daily calories listed won't even sustain a 5' tall, 100 pound 85 year-old with a sedentary lifestyle. Few people would have the discipline to limit themselves to a calorie intake that their own comparison chart shows to be less than what they provide children in their family packs. When you consider the extra effort required to provide yourself clean drinking water and fuel for heat and this allegedly one-year supply would be exhausted within six months.

I have been caught in situations where getting out for food has been impossible. I ordered a one-year supply of food and have been very pleased with the quality of packaging and variety of foods. I'm not wild about the vegetarian meat-flavored (chicken, beef, taco) products since when I do eat meat I prefer it to be authentic and not vegetarian - but in a situation where I could not get or store meat - I will be happy to have it!

Received my kit today. Opened it up and had lots of badly dented cans. Some boxes were mishandled by the carrier and they taped them up. Oddly those boxes did not have dented cans. The boxes that were in "good shape" had the dented cans. Augason farms needs to put spacers in between their cans and use a heavier grade box like a competitor of theirs. This could reduce the damage to the cans. I have not attempted to get them replaced as I do not think it would be worth the time or aggrevation.

The purchase was everything as it is advertised. It is significantly cheaper that comparable offerings especially when shipping is considered. It arrived in good shape, on time and is easily handled boxed quantities. The total amount can be stored in a closet and provide the peace of mind that preparation allows. I opened one can and found the contents fresh and tasty. This is an outstanding purchase that I don't think can be beaten.

There are actually 15 boxes, not 14, though one box contained only one can and the wheat grinder. If the upload photo works for this review, you will see a photo I took as soon as it was delivered to my house (via FedEx, 3 days before scheduled delivery). This should give you some perspective on size of all the boxes together when compared to my 9yo's bike. (Of course I moved the boxes inside... the garage is too hot too store your food storage items!) We purchased this for our family of 4 as a 3 month food storage kit. Everything is well labeled and has multiple recipes for their use. I hope that I will never need to use them, but sleep better knowing that I will be able to feed my family if a major emergency strikes. I plan to buy one more of these kits in a couple months so we have a full 6 months of this type of emergency food storage (to go with my growing pantry stock of food as well). I purchased a pack of 15 P38 can openers for about 6 bucks and will store them with this kit... one in each box. Overkill? Maybe, but I'd hate to have all this food that I couldn't get into! One concern I had was that I would be sent a can of food that had a 10 year shelf life but was 2 years old. Not the case at all. The oldest can of food was 4 months old. Several were packaged less than 6 weeks ago. (There is a Julian Date printed on the bottom of each can to tell when it was packaged.) The price is excellent... significantly less than straight from the manufacturer. I've "spoken" to Augason Farms via Facebook and they have always been responsive and very nice. When doing an inventory to make sure all cans were received (they were - some with minor dents but nothing objectionable) I also resorted them so that cans with the same shelf life were in the same box. I then wrote the contents on the outside of the box along with the expiration date. This will make "rotation" even easier... but the first time I will need to worry about that is in 2021. My 12yo son got excited about the Brownies and that they "only" had a 10 year shelf life. He asked that if we don't need them for emergency food before then, he wants me to bake them for his 22nd birthday!

not what I expected. you have to have other supplies to go with this to make anymeal.

I haven't used my emergency food, but I have inventoried the products and they sent exactly as advertised. All cans are sealed and full of food. Labeled for easy identification. I think I made a good decision, if you compare with other food storage products, this one is priced well and offers a wide variety of food. You could do a lot worse. Get prepared!
